Biology GCSE as a Mature Asult

I’m intending to do Biology GCSE as a mature adult. Self study and then using an AQA exam centre for the exams.

I’d love any advice how to study and memorise the subject.

Also any advice from private students on the practicals for the exams etc.

Thanks
Purdy.

Hi, I didn’t do biology gcse privately but here are my tips for just the subject in general:
. I would recomend doing question paper by topic e.g on Cognito website , PMT website.
. And using CGP workbook and revision guide alongside, but do cross compare with the specification because the revision guides may not cover absolutely everything. What I do in my revision sessions at a level is copy or screenshot the specification points for the particular lesson/topic so that while I’m learning I can see if I’m missing anything.
. Would recommend Miss Estruch Biology and Cognito on YouTube for GCSE.
